It’s as intuitive as drinking the water from a sewer, and about as healthy.
This one understands that survival games pride themselves on being opaque to the point of being obtuse, but there comes a point when that turns into, not just counter intuitive, but counter reality absurdism.
The point at which a Baker, Blacksmith, and Bushcraft instructor would come together to note exactly how incorrect a thing is. That’s where this is, a punishment for player knowledge of how to actually make the object in question. It’s right up there with water from the dregs being refreshing while raw oysters are poisonous. Because drinking out of a septic tank is rewarded, while eating oysters in the most common way they are served is punished.
